  It shouldn’t be viewed as anything serious, and or even that surprising. Dwyane Wade sat out Sunday due to what Erik Spoelstra termed some soreness in his right knee — not the one that was surgically-repaired this offseason. Wade hadn’t missed a game due to injury in more than three [...]

• LeBron tweaks Jason Terry, sidesteps Cleveland question

  There are questions LeBron James has no qualms about honestly answering these days, and others to which he still prefers — for understandable reasons — to carefully reply. When it comes to opponents who verbally challenge him in some way — as Reggie Evans did earlier this season or the [...]

• What role did Pat Riley play in NBA’s longest streak?

  As you likely know by now, the team constructed by Pat Riley the executive is chasing the team supplemented by Pat Riley the player. Riley was a rotation guard on the 1971-72 Lakers, which won 33 straight games, starting Nov. 5, 1971 against Baltimore and ending Jan. 9 against, yes, [...]
